SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 755,123, dated March22, 1904.

Application filed July 24, 1903. Serial No. 166,923. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRIs'rINE J. T. FLY- GARE, a subject of the King ofSweden and Norway, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepinand State of Minnesota, (and whose post-office address is No. 15 SouthThird street, Minneapolis, Minnesota,) have invent-' ed a new and usefulImprovement in Baking Apparatus, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in baking apparatus wherein thatportion of the apparatus which receives and holds the material to becooked or baked is made to revolve or turn over the fire; and the objectof my improvement is to present appliances designed to produce fancybaking or the making of fancy pastry. I attain these objects by themechanism shown in the accompanying draws ings, in which Figure 1 is anelevation of my apparatus viewing the same from one end thereof; andFig. 2 is a vertical section of the same through the line 00 90, Fig. 1.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout both views.

The fire receptacle or boX 1 may be supported upon any suitable base,such as that shown in the drawings and designated 2. The fire-box 1 isprovided withair-holes or perforations 3 at and near the bottom thereofand for convenience of lifting and removal may also be provided withhandles 4. Two standards 5 are secured at either end of the fire-box 1and project above the same, these standards being provided at theirouter ends with notches 6. A drum 7 is -mounted at its axis upon a shaft8, which is provided at one end with a hand-crank 9. The drum 7 shouldbe tapering, or larger at one end than at the other, and may be in theform of a cone; but I prefer to make the same in the form of a frustumof a cone and hollow within, as shown in the drawings. This drum will besupported over the fire-box 1 upon the standards 6 by means of a shaft8, resting within the notches 6, or by other suitable means providingbearings whereby the drum may be supported at its axis above thefire-box,so as to be capable of being revolved in that position.

The operation of my baking apparatus is as follows: Fire is providedwithin the fire-box 1 by the use of suitable material, such as charcoalor gas, and the drum? is revolved by the hand by means of crank 9. Whilethe drum is being heated the material is applied and the bakingaccomplished. The material to be baked is prepared in the form of abatter and is poured or spread upon the drum 7 while in a plastic state,the drum being at the time revolved. The result is. that irregularprotuber ances are formed upon the outer surface of the material beingbaked, giving the same a fanciful shape and rendering the same highlyartistic and decorative. The drum is slowly turned until the material isproperly baked. Then the drum is removed from the fire by lifting it outof the notches in the standards and the product removed from the drumover the smaller end thereof. The drum may be adjusted nearer to thefire or away therefrom,

as desired, by means of the series of notches 6, provided in thestandards 5.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a baking apparatus, the combination of a fire-receptacle, a drumwhich is smaller at one end than at theother and is adapted to-receiveupon its outer surface the material to be baked, means for supportingsaid drum above the fire-receptacle, and means adapting the drum to berevolved upon its aXis in that position, substantially as shown anddescribed.

2. In a baking apparatus, the combination of a fire receptacle, atapering drum adapted to receive upon its outer surface the material tobe baked, means for adjustably and removably supporting said drum abovethe fire-receptacle and at the axis of the drum, said drum being adaptedto be revolved about said axis, substantially as specified.

3. In a baking apparatus, the combination of the fire-box 1, thestandards 5 provided with the notches 6, the drum? adapted to receiveupon its outer surface the material to be baked, the shaft 8, and thecrank 9 substantially as herein set forth.
